The Hospital Open House was held on the
Africa Mercy last week. This is when the Hospital opens its doors so that all crew members, expecially non-medical crew, are able to see what it takes to be a nurse or a doctor. This event is usually held in the weeks prior to the Field Service officially starting, and so this year was especially interesting since the Hospital is already functioning - although access was limited to those wards which are not currently occupied. I was covering a shift in Reception at the time, and so was unable to visit the ward, but my wife Candace headed down with my camera and captured a few photos for me.
The sign says it all. :-)
Try out your surgery skills!
And now time for some relay races!
Dress up like a doctor or nurse.
Learn how to insert an I.V.
Become a nurse for a shift and see what it's like! (The patients were crew members pretending - not real patients. :-) )
